ǂThe ǂghost outside its shell

revisiting the philosophy of Ghost in the Shell

Mirt Komel (Author)

Abstract

Članek se loteva popularne japonske medijske franšize Ghost in the Shell tako, da izlušči njene kulturne vidike in vplive skozi filozofsko refleksijo o temeljni materialistični ideji serije, namreč o dualnem razmerju med duhom in telesom. Interpretacijo legitimira dejstvo, da je na avtorja izvorne mange, Masamune Shirow, vplivala knjiga Arthurja Koestlerja, Ghost in the Machine, ki je po svojih bistvenih potezah strukturalistična antikartezijanska meditacija. Avtor pričujočega članka postavlja tezo, da je mogoče temeljno materialistično idejo duha v lupini reinterpretativno razviti skozi heglovsko dialektiko.

Secondary abstract:	The article engages with the popular Japanese media franchise Ghost in the Shell, discerning its cultural aspects and influence through a philosophical reflection of its main materialistic idea, namelly, the dual relationship between mind and body. The interpretation is legitimazied by the fact that the author of the original manga series, Masamune Shirow, was influenced by Arthur Koestler's book Ghost in the Machine, esentially a structuralist anti-Cartesian meditation. The author of the present article argues that the main underlying materialistic idea of the ghost in the shell can be originally reinterpreted and developed further through Hegelian dialectics.
